So far, we’ve had a more normal summer than the last couple of years with hot, dry days and scattered pop-up storms. The usual, brown, slow growing grass is to be expected and that semi-dormant grass will recover. We’ve already seen the emergence of some disease on several lawns.
There seems to be very little permanent damage, and these brown spots will grow themselves out. Follow our watering guide below to prevent these unsightly areas from developing. Here are a few lawn care tips as this summer rolls on…
WEED CONTROL – You might have noticed that your lawn and garden are seeing more weeds than usual. All a weed needs are soil and moisture to thrive and the longer you neglect them, the faster they will spread. Now is the time for application of a non-residual, safe, summer annual weed control.
INSECTS – Spotted Lanternfly are here, and the ticks and mosquito populations are also extremely high! If these pests are bugging you, contact us right away. We can spray your trees and shrubs and eliminate these dangerous and damaging insects from your property.
MUSHROOMS – The last few weeks have seen perfect weather for growing mushrooms in your lawn and landscape beds. Lots of rain, hot days and cooler nights mean they can sprout up anytime. They don’t do any harm to your grass, flowers or plants so there is no treatment necessary. Just wait for a dry sunny day to burn them away. If they are an annoyance, you can also brush them away with a broom or rake.
GREENSKEEPER’s LAWN WATERING GUIDE
The total amount of water you apply to your lawn will be the difference between the acceptable requirement and the amount mother nature supplies, so make sure to keep an eye on the forecast! We’ve already had a couple of dry stretches this year so be sure to follow these rules.
